Can't believe it.
Me and my consultant got my profile into the pool around 6pm on 2nd October.
Just found out last EE draw was 2nd October at 12:28 PST. 6 hours too late!!!!

Sigh.... we'll have to wait for the next selection I guess. Anyone else had the frustration of being that close?
I wonder how much that would delay the application by. Granted, its the submission of the actual FSW AOR that counts time wise I guess, not the ITA date.

There's no reason for you to be frustrated. You are nearly guaranteed an invite in the next draw. 2 or 3 weeks are not going to make any difference in the bigger scheme of things.

Btw, congratulations on your good IELTS. Are you a native of UK?

Well tbh, I'm more annoyed cos ended up getting a consultant for various reasons, and he should have stayed on top of it. I'm easily annoyed when I'm paying a lot of money :p.

And yes, well technically no, not native. But yes. Lol.
Born in the Netherlands, 12 years there, 16 years UK. British passport.

As for the next question IELTS, thanks for the compliments. Hard work though, was not an easy ride. Prep is key, native or not. I replied to a thread somewhere, with lots of tips. check my posts. I'll try and find it but I'm on mobile atm

Found it: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/struggling-with-ielts-listening-need-helpurgent-t351732.0.html

Hope it helps. Difficult to remember tips now, it was a few weeks ago. Read my comments on there and if any specific questions, feel free to ask. But for general tips see the thread I linked above.
